Template:About

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template should not be used unless other topics exist with names very similar to the name of the article it is being used on (which, for most articles, is not the case).

This template uses Lua:

Module:About

{{About}} is a commonly used hatnote template on Bahaipedia, and should be placed at the top of an article, linking the reader to other articles with similar titles or concepts that they may have been seeking instead. The template has several formats, including:

{{About|USE1}} →
{{About|USE1||PAGE2}} →
{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} →
{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} →
{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|other uses}} →

Alternately, a section=yes parameter can be added to the {{About}} template for use at the top of a section. When using this parameter, the wording in the template changes to specify that it is being used in a section:

{{About|USE1|section=yes}} →
{{About|USE1||PAGE2|section=yes}} →
{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|section=yes}} →
{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3|section=yes}} →
{{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|other uses|section=yes}} →

For more options, find "{{About}}" in the text below.

For reference, see Bahaipedia:hatnote and documentation below.
